GOV. LESLIE ON THE "(;LANDERs.' -

His Excellency, Gov. Leslie, has been

sued proclamation on his new subject,
the "glanders among the lnjun ponies OF
the Crows" Instead Of proclaning the
ponies, our Governor has written com.
munication to the Secretary Of the lnte.
rior on the subject. The Governor says
that he is certain that the disease known as
the "slanders" prevails among the ponies
on the Crow reservation, and the Governor
says he "regards it important that steps be
taken to stamp out the disease while in It's
incipiency.' Incipiency is agood word, for
it shows that the Governor is in dead
earnest. The "glanders,' according to
horse authorities, can only be stamped out
by killing affected horses, and the Govern.
or, being Commander.in.C Chief OF the Ma.
ticnal Guard Of Montana, may call on the
Guard to do the stamping out business.
That method Of wiping out diseased po.
nies might work admirably, but as most Of
the Guards in rifle practice have been used
to firing at objects as large as elephants or
sides Of barns, 1t is doubtful Il the average
malitiaman could knock down bucking
cayuse at two hundred yards. The Gov.
ernor may think Of this in time and sub.
stitute strychnine for soldiers, and call out
the cowboys Of Montana to lariat the Grow

ponies have got to be stamped out, one
way or the other, but Governor Leslie is
too good to kill Grow ponies without pay.

$40 per head, and would only cost the Gov.

WASHINGTON. March 26.-It is now
regarded as settled that Assistant Secre.
tary Fairchild will succeed Manning as
Secretary of the Treasury, and that his
appointment will be officially announced
in the latter part of next week. Solicitor
McCue and Comptroller Maynard are
spoken of as possible successors of Fair
child as Assistant Secretary. The
former, however, is said to prefer new
Circuit Judgeship 10 New York city,
and the latter is understood 10 prefer his
present. position In the event that
Corporation Council Lacomb, of New
York, would receive the Cir
cult Judgeship, it is believed that
McCue would accept the Assistant
Secretaryship. Third Auditor Williams
and Chief Clerk Youmans are also said
to be aspirants to that office. Nothing
has yet been settled in regard to the
Treasuryship. Jordan's resignation has
not yet been accepted. and, while he re-
uuested President to relieve him OF
his duties and responsibilities of his Of.
flee about the third of April. it is
thought that he would consent to re
tain the position a while longer, if the
President so desired. The chances are,
however, that the President will be able
to select his successor before the date
specified by Jordan. 1t is said that the
President desires to select a new Treas
urer from the West.

Cambridge Beats oxford at the
Annual Race.

LONDON. March 26.-The annual boat
race between the crews of Oxford and
Cambridge Universities took place to-
day over the usual course of the Thames,
from Putney to Mortlake, and was won
by Cambridge. The water was lumpy
when the crews launched their boats,
and Just prior to the start the weather
threatened rain. Cambridge at once
took the lead, rowing with slightly
more rapid stroke than the Oxfords. At
the end of the first mile the Cambridge
boat was half a length ahead, the race
having been stubborniy contested all the
way. Oxford then spurted. To this ths
Cambridge men responded instantly and
effectively, SO that at Hammersmith
bridge, nearly two miles from the start,
they had increased their lead to a whole
boat length. Here the Oxtords again
put on, a fresh burst aud drew up, but
managed to Gu: down only q part OF
the lead against them. AT Chiswick,
the Oxfords had improved their rowing
so much that the Cambridge men, in

little wildly and finally splashed, but
they recovered themselves Immediately
and by supreme effort made up their
loss and regained their length Of lead
which had been somewhat curtailed. Al.
though their boat rolled good deal
under the inequality of the efforts of the
crew, at Barnes Bridge, three miles and
five furlongs from the start, Cambridge
was leading by a length and a halt.
After passing the bridge, the Oxford
crew broke an oar. That of course se-
cured the race for the Cambridge men,
and they won easily by three lengths.
The race was fine contest as far as
Barnes Bridge, being strongly contested
every inch up to this point. The Ok
ford crew pulled better together thar
their opponents did, and it is agreed or
all sides that the distance they lost wa
by bad steering entirely. The time o
tue Cambridge crew was twenty minute
and fifty-two seconds. The length an
the course is four miles and two ful
longs.

tied animal. The horses began nipping
at each ether and the gentleman hit one
of them on the nose with paper he had
in his hand. The animal reared up,
broke away from the post to which he
was tied and started down Spring street
at terrific rate of speed. A number Of
people tried to head him off, and this
caused the animal to run up on the side
walk in front of Stewards dry goods

FIRE AaAsrATE PRl SON.
A Four-Story Bui,dtn Consumed
But the PrisOfiers safe.

JACKSON, Mich, March pa fire
was discovered in the four-story building
inside the State Prison walls at 10
o'clock tonight. This building was
used by the prison contractor for paint
shop. The origin of the fire is supposed
to be by spontane Gus combustion. The
building was completely destroyed with
all its contents, and the north end of
long two.story building on the west side
was nearly destroyed. The fire was
under control about 80. As soon as
the fire was discovered ezra guards
were placed inside the cell blocks and
every precaution taken to prevent
stampede of prisoners. They remained
quiet, however, very few leaving their
hunks. 1t is impossible to estimate the
damage as yet. Sparks from the prison
fire caught in the old cattle and sheep
sheds on the fair grounds and ell those
on the north side Of the grounds were
burned. They were mostly old dilapi-
dated structures and the damage was
slight.

preached. Upon entering the throne. room
the Pope said: "We come to welcome
these good Americans" He then seated
himself in a chair in front of the throne
and cushions were placed at his feet.
Bishops Ireland, Watterson and Kean,
and Rector O'Connell, were the first to

Bishops the Pope expressed great pleas.

in America. He was concerned about
the success of the new University and
felt the necessity of having such Uni

the new American College in Rome, he
hoped Vt would be a worthy object of
Catholicity in the United States. Upon
the Rector stating that the college
would contain at least 200 rooms,

said that such building would cost
much money and that this was hope.

America. The Bishops then presented
the other visitors, each of whom knelt
and kissed the Papal ring. the Pope ad.

speech are always searching and full OF
meaning.
